ORIGIN

7/30/2010 Update: Twenty months after we featured it the first time, this Mercedes car hauler has now been listed by a different owner here on eBay in Mexico City. New photos and video is included, and the seller has contacted us to say that the asking price is now just over $30k. We have updated the photo links below.

From 12/1/2008:

This 1953 Mercedes L319 car hauler is offered on the same site as the 300SL rally car we featured yesterday. This truck has been fully restored and is most likely a conversion made form a bus or cargo truck. Find it here on the seller’s own site in Northern Virginia for $45k OBO.

This 1971 Ford Escort Mk. 1 has been given a camper conversion by Dormobile. We can’t think of a better car to park on the remote hillside to watch historic rallying. Find it here on eBay.UK in Newcastle upon Tyne.

This 1991 Audi Quattro Coupe has under 17k miles on the clock and is in excellent cosmetic condition. These cars were rare when new, and finding a good one today is next to impossible. We’ve always liked the shape, though passing years have made the factory Speedline alloys look a little small. Find this one here on Zibe.com in New York for $21k. Special thanks to BaT reader Peter D. for this submission!

This early Triumph project features the small mouth and long door design. The seller claims it was running nine years ago, and looks to have been stored inside. Find it here on Craigslist in Bailey’s Harbor, Wisconsin for $5500. Special thanks to BaT reader Allen D. for this submission!

We dismiss 6-cylinder early Broncos because the V8’s are usually better, no more expensive, and more plentiful. This 1966 truck might just have us convinced otherwise with the nicest looking Ford six we’ve found. Find it here on eBay in Bradenton, Florida.

This 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has all original paint and has avoided the rust and modifications so commonly seen on this model. The tow bumper and the bench seat fabric aren’t stock, but other than that the truck is as it left the factory. Many will spend over twice this amount to restore a truck that will not come out as nice as this one. Find it here at Hobi Vehicles in Portland, Oregon for $13,500. Special thanks to BaT reader Michael E. for this submission!

This 1966 Lotus Elan is fully sorted and one of the last of this particular Series II S/E model produced. This car has paperwork showing that it was sold new at Lotus East in Millertown, New York and the 45k miles currently showing are believed to be original. The car is freshly repainted in the original Cirrus white, and is ready to drive. It is available in Las Vegas, Nevada for $29k obo. Contact us atmail@bringatrailer.com if you are interested.

This 1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato is a one of only a few true 1600 cars in North America. It is an older restoration with less than 400 miles on an engine overhaul, and it deserves better photos. Find it here on eBay in Potomac, Maryland. Special thanks to BaT reader john L. for this submission!

7/30/2010 Update: This Emory Outlaw is again being offered for sale by the same owner as last year, but it has now been softened up to make it a more streetable track car. More info can be found here on the seller’s photo site where it is available in Oregon for $59k. We have updated the photo links below.

6/13/2009 Update: This 356 did not meet reserve at $39,999 with only 2 bidders.

6/4/2009 Update: This 356 race car has now been listed here on eBay by the same private seller. The opening bid is much lower but we’ll have to see where the reserve is set and how many interested parties respond. Still a great car.

From 3/4/2009:

This 1958 Porsche 356A Cabriolet is a full-blown Outlaw vintage racer built and maintained by the originators of the species; the guys at Parts Obsolete. We featured this car just over a year ago when it was listed on the Emory website, and it has since been raced by the current seller and has had some aesthetic changes made. It is now available in Portland, Oregon for $68k.

This 1964 Maserati Sebring was stripped, dipped, and re-sprayed in silver just before being shoved in a garage many years ago. The seller claims that everything is there apart from minor hardware. Find it here on ebay in Woodstock, Georgia.

This 1980 VW Scirocco shows only 39k miles from new and remains very original. It is one of the last cars to wear blue California plates and has been in that state since new. Find it here on eBay in Redwood City, California with reserve already met.

This 1960 Sunbeam Alpine is beautifully prepared for vintage racing and is offered at a bargain price. The car blends vintage aesthetics and modern safety features better than many builds we have seen lately, and the seller claims that it all meets current CVAR group 4 requirements. Find it here on the Alpine Owners Club forum in Edmond, Oklahoma for $11,500. Special thanks to BaT reader Steven S. for this submission!

7/30/2010 Update: This Audi has been marked sold. That was fast. What do the commenters who said it was overpriced have to say?

From 7/28/2010:

This 1983 Audi Turbo Quattro Coupe was just listed yesterday and is a 58k-mile example that has been thoroughly restored. Not much technical detail is given, but the seller claims that the bottom is as clean as the top. Find it here on AudiFans.com in for $21k. Special thanks to BaT reader Peter D. for this submission!

7/29/2010 Quick Update: Our fears have been calmed. Thanks for all the responses. $100k it is! Feels like a bargain now.

7/29/2010 Update: It looks as if we might have been incorrect in our currency conversion on this Nissan…. by a factor of 100! We didn’t think it could have been true at the time of the feature so we adjusted to what we thought was a high but not crazy number, but we’ve been told that the price listed by the dealer actually translates to just over $10,170,000 USD when the decimal point is in the right position. Wow. We are guessing that all the commenters rejecting the $100k pricing might not be too happy about this update. Can this be right?

From 7/27/2010:

This 1970 Datsun is the Z432 model which rises above the other early Z’s thanks to the factory installed S20 Skyline 6-cylinder engine. The 430-ish built came with magnesium wheels, 5-speed transmissions, and one of the sweetest engine notes you will ever find. See this one here at Bingo Sports in Japan for 8,800,000 Yen or about $101k at today’s rate. Special thanks to BaT reader Gerrard N. for this submission!

This 1966 Pontiac LeMans was parked in the 2nd owner’s SoCal garage shortly before he passed away in 1986. His widow and son never moved it, and supposedly went more than 10 of those years without even opening the garage door. The car has all the documents back to new and features the famous OHC 6-cylinder, 4-speed transmission, and all original paint. Find it here on eBay in Los Angeles, California with a sub-$6k bid and no reserve with just under two days to go! Special thanks to BaT reader James R. for this submission!
